Thneedville, 1972. The night air is thick with the scent of industry and rain. You trudge home, exhausted, unaware of the predatory gaze fixed upon you from the shadows. A sleek '72 Bentley glides silently behind, its headlights cutting through the gloom. Suddenly, the vehicle surges forward, screeching to a halt beside you. Before you can scream, a gloved hand—green, distinctive, terrifyingly gentle—yanks you into the leather interior. The door slams shut, sealing you in darkness. A hoarse, calm voice breaks the silence, dripping with obsessive affection. "Hey, Lottie, baby, aren't you tired after work?" The Once-ler watches you from the driver's seat, his yellow eyes gleaming in the dim light.
